No one ever shows so I wasn't worried about missing last night. Try e-mail. Casa is 100% unless otherwise noted; Hooters is not 100% unless I get notification.

Huh! Tell home-skillet he's gotta start kickin' it with the crew. What all has he done to his car? I imagine working right down the street from CMS would be a bad thing.

Dr.Steve: When do you want "part deux" for the battery box delete? We also need to nail down what we're gonna do for the header-back combination. I'm kinda torn on the header & we'll need an expert opinion on resonator + muffler combination.

Next week so you have your MINI for this weekend's party and drive. I have some ideas on the exhaust system. What's up with the Frackturedmobile ordeal? I threw away all the broken bits and vacuumed all the glass out of it yesterday. I'd like to start disassembling.

So far, he is only repairing it. It has 114k miles and he bought it with no power steering and various other defects which are now being repaired as money allows. He should be able to do some mods in the near future.

Christmas Tree Lane. Nice and slow so it's safe unless the palm trees get rambunctious.

Well, I'll steer while in neutral to save my clutch and you push. You won't need to go to the gym that day, either.

Well, we have a tentative settlement. However, I'm not apt to settle until my buddy is all taken care of & has settled his end. Given the potential legal entanglement the car is just a piece of the puzzle at this time. Soooooo....you're welcome to have at the "Frackmobile part deux".

Batteries won't be here until next week so no hurry. How about a nice head and cam? Or drive instead.

I'd love to drive more, but my accident put me squarely behind the 8-ball at work. Now I've gotta play catch-up & try to nail year-end figures. Sooooo..all that to say - car's all yours.

Well, if it snows on Saturday, I won't be able to get home so you can drop the FPD by on Sunday or Monday when you get a chance.

Can you put the Fracturedmobile on jack stands so we can take the SSR's to Dave Kurata to see if they're true? Hopefully, by removing the wheels it'll give you a better visual on suspension, etc. on true salvageableness.....hey, I think I just created a word. Better add it to Wikipedia before somebody spell checks me.
